FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
This product is not flammable. As in any fire, MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) and full protective gear should be worn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
See Section 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection and Section 3, Hazard Identification. Floors may be slip-
pery. Use care to avoid falling. Contain and isolate spill. Keep non-essential personnel from entering spill area.
Use mop, absorbent, or wet vacuum to collect material for proper disposal. Rinse area with water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING:
Follow label use directions. Do not mix with other chemicals unless instructed by label directions. Avoid contact
with eyes and skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove saturated clothing. Wash clothing and equipment
before reuse.
STORAGE:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10, Stability and
Reactivity).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
EYE:
Where eye contact is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1
approved).
SKIN:
Where skin contact is possible, chemical-resistant clothing (e.g., gloves) should be worn.
RESPIRA TORY :
No respiratory protection is required if ventilation is adequate.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
General room ventilation is expected to be adequate. If user operations generate vapor or mist, ventilation should
be used to keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits.
